Quick Answer
Remove trail markers by cutting them to 6-8 inches from the ground and folding them in half to prevent further use, then store them in a waterproof container to be reused or disposed of properly.
Removing Trail Markers
Proper removal of trail markers is essential to maintain the integrity of the signal trail system. When cutting trail markers, use a knife or pruning tool to minimize the amount of damage to the surrounding vegetation. Cut them to a length of 6-8 inches from the ground to maintain a consistent appearance and prevent them from being mistaken for a new marker.
Storing Removed Trail Markers
Store removed trail markers in a waterproof container to keep them dry and prevent them from being damaged or destroyed. This container can be a plastic bag, a small bucket, or a specialized storage container. Make sure the container is labeled as “Removed Trail Markers” or “Unused Markers” to prevent confusion.
